Man cave.

14" diameter, pub size pool table, bar, TV and juke box. Plus a small pantry of tinned foods in case of fire or nuclear war. :wink:
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

Man cave is underway in my 9m x 18metre garage- kick arse size.
I'm thinking maybe somewhere to age salami or mushroom growing.

9x18, wow :shock: I'm getting one built literally half that size, 4.5x9

Bugger mushrooms and salami, B&D dungeon? Wine cellar?

The little basturds had snuck under a primary door which has a rusted frame, then fallen down. From there they've slid under the solid door which has a small gap at the bottom.

I don't believe they could get back out. The cellar has an old 50-60's fridge in there which they would have felt quite safe to hibernate.

It's a brilliant cellar that I intend to use. Open to suggestions other than storage.
Ugh scary buggers, I swear the one I saw last summer up the road was the size of an anaconda!

Hmmm do you have any serial killer tendencies? Lots of good movie examples!

A guy I know at the identical time as myself went for a tree change to the border, unfortunately his bags are packed and ready to evacuate.

On the other hand after fishing yesterday out the front of my place we were sighting whale spray with binoculars from atop a sand dune. Bliss.

Lol, "Fairly dangerous". They don't get much more dangerous than the Eastern Brown. We don't seem to have them, just Tigers and Copperheads, which are bad enough, but they hang out around our dam and not near the house so we are co-existing at the moment.

We took the plunge and moved about 3 hours in the opposite direction: We're in the Otways and loving it.
kill for collingwood!

The other night the missus is on the phone in the bedroom, suddenly she screams, I ran in and here's this tiny bat flying around the room. Round and round and round.
The Steve Irwin in me clicks in. Opens the window and tries to shoo it out, nah, it keeps doing these bloody circles around the room. Run out to the garage and grab a fishing net. Stuck the net up in its path and bingo.
Tiny bat, believe it's a Micro Bat, ugly thing. Anyhow let it go and hopefully we don't see its type back.

We aren't Greenies by any stretch of the imagination, but we love it here. Blue tongue lizards are frequent visitors.
Spoke to my antennae guy the other day and he told me some bugger had caught at least an 8ft long shark around a k down the beach and had gutted it in the car park and left the carcass to rot. Sounds like crappy out of towners.

I've got a decent size Blue Tongue living under the side porch steps that I made out of some paving tiles and brinks. Frightened shit out of me the other day when I went to go to the bin and saw this head, before I then saw the body and realised it wasn't a snake.

I've just got to remember now to look down before walking so I don't step on it.

Antenna was dirt cheap at $220, new cable also, re-used mast.

Have you noticed much wildlife at your new place T.P?
